Improvement of the methodology of analysis 
of some heavy metals which are routinely de 
termined in seawater and marine organisms. 
Development of a micro-procedure to be able 
to determine extremely small amounts of 
heavy metals and bioavailable heavy metals 
in seawater (speziation). 
Determination of both "former" organohalogens 
and "new" polar organochemicals in a screening 
procedure. 
The automatic system is a supplement to existing 
sample taking facilities for a better determination 
of organic pollutants.

Examination of the transport of dissolved and 
particle - bound heavy metals and radionuclides 
through the biogeochemical zones within the 
sediment as well as through the sediment - 
water boundary. 
(Quantitative estimation of the intensity of 
remobilization and bio-availability of heavy 
metals from the sediments as a consequence of 
seasonally varying biological events in the 
shallow water areas of the German Bight.)
